Title: Book: Exploring the Spanish Language
Body: Title: Exploring the Spanish Language Series Title: A Hodder Arnold Publication Publication Year: 2004 Publisher: Oxford University Press http://www.oup.com/us http://www.oup.co.uk Book URL: http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/?view=usa&ci=034071946X Author: Christopher Pountain, Head, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Cambridge Paperback: ISBN: 034071946X, Pages: 256, Price: U.S. $ 24.95 Abstract: This book offers an introduction to the structures and varieties of Spanish, covering all the major levels of linguistic forecasting: considerable attention is paid to Judeo-Spanish and creoles. No previous knowledge of linguistics is assumed and a glossary of technical terms, in conjunction with exercises and activities, helps to reinforce key points. The book is written specifically with English-speaking learners of Spanish in mind, and readers will find a good deal of practical help in developing skills such as pronunciation and the appropriate use of register.

Body: End of year project suggestion for Spanish 4 students, applicable to any advanced language class: This week they are preparing a lesson plan which is being done in pairs. Next week, each pair is scheduled to teach their lesson in the elementary school. One group is doing professions, one animals, one colors and one fruits and colors combined.
